WA: New Years Eve - The sun and the moon

To bring in the new year, we decided to watch the logger turtles come to shore to lay there eggs......But, first, time for a little celebration on a Blue Moon New Years!    We went up to the lighthouse, and watched the Sun set as the full moon was rising....It was amazing!   What a fantastic omen to start the New Year 2010!















Down to the beach to watch the huge logger turtles slowly making their journey from the sea to the beach.....




It was a long, arduous process for the turtles to climb up the beach.....Then, they would dig a deep hole to lay their eggs.  It was amazing - sand flying everywhere....I did not take pictures, as it would of upset the turtles.  We went down to look at their tracks the next day.
